Summary

We expect a modest facelift of 2017 Mustang, it will more likely get convertible version and a couple of special edition series.

After a break of 21 years, Ford have decided to bring the Bronco back from the dead, and they’ve done it with a bang. The trick for the Ford designers is to take the classic styling cues from the original Bronco and incorporate them in to the new model – giving it a retro look with modern feel. Will they manage it successfully?

The new Navigator has gorgeous look, making it even more distant from same platform Expedition. The product car has recently revealed – it’s design is very similar to the concept car. With powerful 450 HP engine it is likely to have success in premium SUV market.

Back in 2011, Ford stopped production of the mid-size ranger pickup truck, at least in the U.S. Ever since then, Ranger fans have been waiting for Ford to announce a comeback for the model. For a while, it looked as though Ford were going to put the Ranger back in to production at their Mexico plant, but thanks to an agreement with the United Auto Workers trade union, they changed that to the Michigan plant.
